The video show the good side of the cops but also the fact that they are not well trained in physically subduing such a thug. If you watch American TV series COPS, you will realise that officers will use all their means to get such a thug to cooperate. The fact that he was armed with two pistols would have increased the chances of him being shot as he was not ready to cooperate at all.

At the AP offices, the policemen are still seen begging the thug to remove hi ID from his purse instead of the officers confidently searching the suspect.
